Report: Former Colts WR Marvin Harrison shot at by assailants

According a report from Philly.com former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison was shot at while picking up a man in his truck.

Harrison was reportedly driving his pickup truck at about 3:20 a.m. when he saw a man run out of his apartment. The man was running away from two intruders who had broken into his apartment. Harrison allowed the man in his truck and the burglars shot at the direction of the truck.

The report says neither person was injured, but a bullet tore into Harrison's tires. Harrison handed over the truck tire that was struck to the police. He did not comment to Philly.com.

Harrison set numerous receiving records during his 13-year career with the Colts. During his career he had some off-the-field incidents in his hometown of Philly, where he lives now.

In 2008 Harrison was a suspect in a shooting. Investigators said a gun owned by Harrison was used in the shooting a man, Dwight Dixon, accused the Colts receiver of shooting him. About a year later Dixon was shot again in 2009 and died two months later. Harrison was listed as a person of interest in that case. The local DA declined to press charges in the 2008 shooting due to a lack of evidence.

In 2010 police in Philadelphia retrieved a handgun from Harrison during a traffic stop. No charges were filed against him.
